Notice for anyone having bad lag today

dannymcgr81b14_ESO · June 2016

The launcher is now defaulting to 64 bit. If you are having really bad lag or fps you can change it using the settings option. Click the small circle on the top right and click off 64 bit.

Oh my god, I was about to post a threat just to say this. I thought my computer went crazy or something. Thanks!

Edit: Yay, fixed. Thanks man, you da real MVP (especially for someone like me, that knows nothing about computers).

I've been getting insane latency since the patch. Will shoot from 60 to 999+... Slingshot me back hundreds of meters, which royally screws me on any stealth mission... kick me back to log in screen without an error code...

I launch right from the exe so I've been getting these issues on 32 bit. For *** and giggles though I decided to change it on the launcher and launch it from that. No help

Still the insane latency and lag.

I haven't been getting latency issues, but I have been having FPS issues since the patch. My FPS dropped by about 20 (and considering that that brought me down to 12 FPS in towns, it was pretty game-breaking). Oddly enough, the only thing that fixed it for me was launching directly from the .exe.

Turning off the 64 bit option in the launcher did nothing.

Are there any real advantages or disadvantages with the 64 bit client for a solo PvEer who has never had any performance issues with the 32 bit client? I did note earlier that it was now the default version and I gave it a try to see how it compared but didn't notice any difference at all.

I suspected this change had been made as my SLI stopped working because there is no SLI profile from Nvidia yet for the 64 bit client. Nice catch on the option in the launcher for switching between 32 and 64

dannymcgr81b14_ESO · June 2016

I actually had to run the repair tool after switching back to 32 bit but after that I had no more problems.

How did you notice your SLI was not working? I launch 64 bit and if I windows key out and go to Nvidia control panel it shows enabled.

I have MSI Afterburner running, it showed that only one card is being used after the update, so hopefully Nvidia will release a profile in the coming days for the 64 bit client.

You are able to force SLI back on using “Force Frame Rendering 1” however I’m not sure how optimized it will be without a proper profile.

Ok thanks.

@Tandor

I do see a more stable frame rate, I would imagine the rate would be higher, but mine is capped by V-Sync. I also don't see as bad a slow down over time from playing on the 64 Bit. It was not a night and day difference for me, but the game seemed smoother.

OMG I have been experiencing horrible lag since DB patch. That is also when I started using the 64 bit client too! I just figured the DB patch screwed the game like so many patches before it. It never occured to me it could the the 64 bit client. I'll have to try changing back when I get home!

ku5h · June 2016

After patching today afternoon i had terrible lag in both Cyro, but also in Grahwood, i had like 300ping and abysmal fps. I was thinking to myself wth is going on. Then half an hour ago i see this post, and think to my self, haha that's it i have to swich back to 32bit. Did that, went Cyro and had the worst lag i had since ever. Couldnt stand it more then 10 min. WTH are you doing ZoS, not only your not making any progress with performance, but you'r making it worse with every patch. I have no words...

FortheloveofKrist · June 2016

Where do I switch between 64 bit and 32 bit with my NVidia card so I can clock my motherboard V-sync capped on my rendering Client when my drivers are all SLI based in my software patch.

Oh wait, I don't have to do that sh**. I play on a PS4.

Console Master Race.

(LOL. Sorry, but I had to after seeing so may PC Master race comments. All in good fun. Teehee. )

Edit: cause I can't spell when I'm laughing that hard.

Smileybones · June 2016

Since last patch my ping went from 210 average to 180 average.

*Shrugs*

dodgehopper_ESO · June 2016

64 bit use to work better for me, the latency is so awful and the crashing interminable. I tried 32 bit and it seems to be working better. They screwed something up. I don't know what it was, but something changed in this last patch.

dannymcgr81b14_ESO · June 2016

Discovered something else. On my laptop ESO was trying to use the integrated graphics card instead of my nvidia. Went in and changed it and now I can run the 64 bit with no problems.

Thrasher91604 · June 2016

Yeah, also if you have your power line unplugged that can slow you up too. But that's all pretty basic stuff.

If it suddenly stops working properly after a patch that's a clear indication that the devs broke something (or you didn't patch properly). I did a repair to no avail...
